Bournemouth 1 West Brom 0: Wilshere debut ends in victory

A clever finish from Callum Wilson was the difference as Jack Wilshere's Bournemouth debut ended in a 1-0 victory over West Brom

Jack Wilshere's Bournemouth debut ended in victory as a late Callum Wilson winner gave Bournemouth a 1-0 success over West Brom at the Vitality Stadium.

It took 79 minutes for the Cherries to break down an obdurate West Brom defence, finally breaking the deadlock when Wilson's clever flick turned in an Adam Smith cross.

The biggest surprise of the afternoon had come when Eddie Howe opted to leave deadline day arrival Wilshere on the bench, with home supporters waiting an hour for his arrival.
